Definitions
- Nuclear fission of heavy elements such as Uranium 235 is currently in use, but finds much public disapproval. This is because of the risk of nuclear explosion and the problems associated with the disposal of the fuel residue. Nuclear fusion has been researched for many years and postulated as a cleaner and safer alternative to nuclear fission. In theory, nuclear fusion of hydrogen (typically its isotopes deuterium or tritium) could solve the problem of reliance on fossil fuel combustion. Hydrogen is, in effect, a limitless source of fuel (from water) . The reaction products are non-polluting, and the fusion reaction can be operated so that there is virtually no risk of explosion (ie. the reaction allegedly stops as soon as the plasma field in which the reaction takes place ceases) . However, the most significant hurdle to controlled nuclear fusion has been the preliminary findings that the energy required to maintain a hot plasma field for fusion is greater than the energy produced by the process. This is in part attributable to the very high temperatures required for the plasma generation.
- the electrolyte is cryolite (Na 2 AlF 6 ) , however, other solid electrolytes can be used for these and other metals, such as BaO, SeO, PbO, TaO, HgO electrolytes etc.
- an electron stimulant is also fed to the cell.
- the electron stimulant is a metal oxide, nitride or sulphide.
- the metal oxide is one or both of an aluminium or zirconium oxide, and the metal nitrides or sulphides are one or more nitrides/sulphides of titanium, copper, iron, lead or other metals.
- the metal oxide, nitride or sulphide is added to stimulate electron activity up to and during the synthesis step and can also be consumed in the process (ie. acting also as a fuel) .
- the anode has a heat exchange coil extending therethrough, for conducting energy generated in the form of heat to a fluid in the coil in use.
- the cathode also has a heat exchange coil associated therewith, for conducting energy generated in the form of heat to a fluid in the coil in use.
- the fluid is thus heated and can be used for power generation.
- the fluid is water and is heated to produce steam, which can then be fed to a turbine generator.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic depiction of apparatus for carrying out a preferred process for producing energy and elemental material according to the invention.
- the inventors then surprisingly discovered that some energy positive nuclear reactions were able to be induced.
- the inventors discovered that oxygen and zirconium reacted under certain conditions at the nuclear level and were transformed (synthesised) initially into krypton and neon, then to germanium and magnesium and finally into nickel and silicon, releasing large amounts of energy in the process.
- an AC power source 12 connected to a mains power supply was provided in the AC circuit.
- a DC power source (eg. battery) 13 was provided in the DC circuit.
- the voltage of the source 13 could typically be varied.
- the positive component of AC power provided from source 12 was supplemented by power from the variable saturation inductor, whilst the negative component of the AC power was cancelled out (eliminated) by the VSI . This had the effect of producing and supplying, via the transformer T, an as mmetric direct power supply (diagram D) to the electrolysis cell.
